Rob Bernosky for School Board
Why I am Running
Today I announce my bid to for Hollister School Board.
Education has always been my passion, especially TK-8.
I have to be honest, I am inspired mostly by wife, the superintedent/principal of the highly successful Spring Grove School (North County Joint Union School District). What she has there I want all students of Hollister to have.
I want students to value and achieve academic success. I want children to be in an environment where students feel incredibly safe and heard. We want to do what we can to be all-on on their school experience and offer them opportunties that supplement their academic success.
What Do I intend to Do
I would like to help those running the Hollister School District to be more effective and make it easier for parents to let the board know what they want. The first thing I would like to do is tighten up school board meetings so that they are shorter and focused. By way of example, what I observe today is that we have long school board meetings with a lot of long speeches by board members. In the audience and sitting on the sides are a lot of District employees who have to be "up and at 'em" early the next moring. Being married to an administrator (and having 2 daughters who are educators), I can say unequivocally that they earn a a good nights rest already without having to sit through every school board meeting.
Many times that controversial issues that boards deal with are put at the end of meetings. Let's bite the proverbial bullet and put those things early in the agenda so that parents and children that are present get home at a decent hour.
Why Vote for Rob Bernosky?
My business card says "Special Situation Solutions" because I get involved in difficult business situations and help turn the entity around. I take a practical approach, focusing on what the problem is, not what the politics around it may be. My philosophy is most people know what the problems are, but many times for political or similar situations, they are afraid to speak up or do not know what to. I facilitate getting the problem out on the table and coming up with the solutions. That is what I want to do for the State of California. For you.
Being Secretary of State puts me in a position where I can emphasize to the uninvolved people that they can change the skyrocketing costs, crime rates, bad commmutes and poorly performing schools by simply getting more involved, especially by voting for the candidates that are best suited to address those issues, and that is what I intend to do. Elections that have to be fair, which the Secretary of State is charged with ensuring.
